The more moveable attachment point of a muscle is called the?
The origin is the "immovable" point of attachment of a muscle to a bone.
What is the site of the muscle attachment that is moved upon contraction?
Insertion
Where does the muscle attach to the bone?
Where a muscle attaches to a bone is at the origin and insertion points. The origin is the immovable (or slightly moveable) attachment point and the the insertion is the movable attachment point. During contraction the insertion moves towards the origin. HOW a muscle attaches to a bone is through tendons.
Constant contraction of a muscle is?
constant contraction of a muscle is called the muscle tone
What term identifies the site where a muscle attaches to the bone it pulls on?
The attachment of the muscle that is on the moving bone is known as the insertion. In contrast, the origin is the attachment of the muscle on the non-moving bone.
The muscle decreases in muscle length during contraction but tension is the same?
Isotonic contraction
What muscle contraction occurs in the biceps brachii during the upward phase of the bicep curl?
a concentric contraction- a concentric contraction involves the muscle length, shortening during a contraction! YA-trick-YA!
What happens to a muscle contraction if there is an excess amount of either Ca2 plus or ATP present during the contraction?
During muscle contraction the actin heads pull the sarcomere closed
What contraction that shortens the muscle but does not increase tension is called?
It is called concentric isotonic contraction.
What is The contraction of muscles for no obvious purpose called?
An involuntary muscle contraction is called a spasm.
During muscle contraction....... attach to ...............?
Troponin
In addition to myosin what other protein is involved in skeletal muscle contraction?
Myosin acts with Actin during muscle contraction
